SDK Development
Create professional TypeScript SDKs from scratch or by extraction.
Key Principles
- Clean public API — Export only what consumers need, hide internals
- Type everything — Full type coverage for config, methods, responses, and errors
- Meaningful errors — Typed error classes with codes and context
- Sensible defaults — Works out of the box with minimal config
- Framework agnostic — Core SDK has no framework dependencies; add bindings separately
Quick Start Checklist
- Analyze scope: new SDK or extraction from existing app
- Design public API surface (exports, types, config)
- Implement client with typed methods and error handling
- Configure build for ESM/CJS/types (tsup recommended)
- Write tests (unit + integration) and examples
- Publish to npm with proper package.json exports field
